In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and marinara or pizza sauce. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over one side of each tortilla, leaving about a 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) border around the edges.
Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the cream cheese mixture.
Evenly distribute the sliced pepperoni over the mozzarella layer. Add chopped black olives, if using, for an extra punch of flavor.
Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano and dried basil over the toppings for authentic pizza seasoning.
Starting at one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log. Wrap each roll securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1.5-2 cm (1/2-3/4 inch) pinwheels.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
